You'll be armed with all the equipment and guidance you need, and you'll likely encounter dolphins, seals, sea eagles and fish along the way.

Your adventure begins with a short discussion on the format for the day including lunch breaks, distance expected to kayak, and expected weather conditions. You are then kitted up with a PFD, spray deck, paddle jacket, thermals and a paddle before the all-important safety briefing including a dry capsize drill.

Sights you'll see along the way include dolphins, seals, sea eagles, fish, boat wrecks, historical buildings, marinas and yachts. Lunch and drinks are prepared for all participants about half way through the trip at the QLD Quarantine Station (a short tour of the former Quarantine Station is included). Then you'll return to the start, gear is packed away and you can change into some warm clothes.This adventure takes place between September to May, and is the perfect way to see the picturesque Sorrento locale.

Kayaking was amazing! The guide was knowledgeable enough to even make sure we bumped into a pod of dolphins.

Both my husband and I loved the day. Lunch could have been better as stated earlier, but a fun experience, great workout and we would do it again. This was a wedding gift and a really good one. WE are still married!!!
